Refined Crern ,tion.

The Cremation Society at Zurich, Swift
erland, one of the best organized associa.
tons in the world, has adopted the B curry
system, which is described as follows
Like Siemens, Mr.. Bourry only allows
heated air to communicate with the body.
In both systems the corpse burns directly.
No flame is to be seen singeing the body,
but it burns itself by the abundance of hot
oxygen which surrounds it.
Bourry used carbonic acid gas, prepared
In a coke Regeneration, for heating the Gre
matory. During the process of cremation,
he uses mainly chimney gas for heating
the air before it touches the corpse, which
allows more economical use of the heat.
1t Is of great advantage that the chimney
needs to be thirty-ivc feet high from the
base of the cellar, so that it is fully COW
cred up by the building. The ashes fall,
without being touched, by an almost auto
matically-working apparatus into the urn
The dissolution Of the body does not take
place in the dark. unseen and uncontrolled,
but the whole action is open. Bourry and
Venini place the crematorium, which has
the shape of a sarcophagus, and which can
be approached from all sides in the midst
of the hall in which the services are to
take place. There is a little window on
the back of the sarcophagus, through which
one can see the process of cremation. which
is completed within one to one and one half
hours, without smell or smoke. The pro-
cess is solemn and beautiful. and avoids
every unesthetic manipulation Sanitary

New Method of Embroidery.

A young lady named Mary Jenkins, liv-
ing near Pennington, Ia, has had rather
remarkable experience. She is about IS
years of age, quite pretty, and the picture
of health, as all English girls are supposed
to be. Her parents came to America from
Chelsea about eight years ago.
Shortly after her arrival in this country,
while embroidering her mothers initials
on handkerchief, she inadvertently swal-
lowed the needle, red thread and all, hav-
ing placed the former in her mouth while
she pinned the handkerchief 10 her knee
in another position. No especial incon-
venience was felt after the needle was
swallowed, and after a few months the
family almost forgot about the circum-
stance. Friday morning, while dressing,
she felt something pricking her left
arm near the the elbow. She ex-
amined the place, and found the needle
sticking through the skin, while her
initials were handsomely worked in the
red silk at almost the same place. The in
cident is regarded by people who have been
made acquainted with it as noteworthy,
and, in fact, unusual-Elchdnqe.
